Troubleshooting
Plate feels unstable or loose
Ensure all four hooks are securely engaged with the plate rim. Adjust the spring tension by repositioning the springs slightly to achieve a tighter grip.

For deeper plates, try positioning the wire slightly higher on the rim if possible. Ensure the plate is hung flush against the wall.
Hanging loop won't fit standard hook
